AP Biology Unit 4: Cell Communication and cell cycle

An example of LOCAL cell communication is:

• White blood cells bumping into each other sharing antigen info

• Neurons communicating across a synapse

• Hormones traveling through the blood stream to target tissues

An example of DIRECT cell communication is:

• White blood cells bumping into each other sharing antigen info

• Neurons communicating across a synapse

• Hormones traveling through the blood stream to target tissues
